Apple has put a rangoli engraving on a limited Special Edition of AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case for Diwali. It costs ₹17,900 and is available in India from 11 October to 11 November 2026, while supplies last. Apple is also offering cashback and No Cost EMI on selected products during the same period.
The engraving is the main reason to choose this version. The earbuds and charging case are otherwise the AirPods 5 package, and the festive card offers apply to several other Apple products too.
AirPods 5 Rangoli Edition: price and availability
The Special Edition AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case costs ₹17,900. Apple lists it on the Apple Store Online and app, as well as at Apple Store locations in India. The offer runs from 11 October to 11 November 2026, while supplies last.
Apple limits purchases to two per customer. The rangoli engraving is the distinguishing detail, but it may not be preserved in a repair: Apple says a replacement could be the standard AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case.
Apple’s India shop page has the current availability. Our AirPods 5 case comparison explains what changes between the charging case options.
AirPods 5 Rangoli Edition features
The engraving does not change the AirPods 5 features. Apple lists active noise cancellation, Adaptive EQ, an open-ear design, Siri with Apple Intelligence, stem-based volume control, Qi and Apple Watch charging for the case, a Find My speaker in the case, and up to 22 hours of listening with the case when ANC is on.
Apple also highlights Live Translation, but Hindi is not among the languages listed for the feature. For buyers in India, that limits its usefulness. The Special Edition otherwise has the same open-ear design and features as the regular AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case.
Festive cashback on iPhone, Mac, iPad, Watch and AirPods
Apple’s India offer page lists instant cashback from 11 October to 11 November 2026 on eligible American Express, Axis Bank and ICICI Bank cards. The minimum order value is ₹10,001, and the offer is limited to two orders in a rolling 90-day period. Here are the listed cashback amounts:
| Product | Cashback |
|---|---|
| iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Air | ₹7,000 |
| iPhone 17, iPhone 17e | ₹1,000 |
| MacBook Pro | ₹15,000 |
| MacBook Air | ₹10,000 |
| MacBook Neo | ₹7,000 |
| iMac, Mac mini | ₹5,000 |
| Mac Studio | ₹10,000 |
| iPad Air, iPad Pro | ₹5,000 |
| iPad, iPad mini | ₹3,000 |
| Apple Watch Ultra 4 | ₹6,000 |
| Apple Watch Series 12 | ₹4,000 |
| Apple Watch SE 3 | ₹2,000 |
| AirPods 5 | ₹1,000 |
| AirPods Pro 3 | ₹2,000 |
| AirPods Max 2 | ₹4,000 |
That puts the Special Edition AirPods 5 in the same ₹1,000 cashback bucket as regular AirPods 5 if your card and order qualify. The bigger numbers sit on MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, which is where the festive math changes most for anyone already planning a laptop buy. Apple’s broader September lineup, including the Duo, is covered in our Apple event 2026 roundup.
No Cost EMI terms
No Cost EMI is available for up to 12 months on select iPhone, Mac and iPad models. iPhone Duo, Apple Watch, AirPods and Beats have shorter 3- or 6-month options. Check the eligible models, card requirements and tenure on Apple’s financing page before checkout.
Cashback and No Cost EMI are separate offers. An AirPods purchase may qualify for cashback while remaining limited to the shorter EMI tenures listed by Apple.
Who should buy the Special Edition
Choose the Special Edition if you want the rangoli engraving and were already considering AirPods 5 with the Wireless Charging Case. If the design does not matter to you, compare the regular version’s price before buying. The core features are the same, and Apple notes that a repair replacement may not keep the special finish.
